Wellness for Warriors expo set for Sept. 7

Posted by Kaitlyn McConnell on Sept. 3, 2019

Veterans,
law enforcement, first responders, and their families are invited to CoxHealth’s
Wellness for Warriors expo on Saturday, Sept. 7. From vendors, coaches and instructors to keynote speakers, the
event is a one-stop opportunity to learn more about what resources are
available in the Ozarks to people who have served country and community.

The
expo is an extension of the Wellness for Warriors program, which began at
CoxHealth in 2016. The program features a free weekly class that utilizes mind
and body techniques to help participants reduce stress and readjust to life
after traumatizing and stressful situations.

“We feel strongly that it’s important to help
our warriors, as well call them, readjust to life away from duty,” says Kerry
Miller, volunteer coordinator at CoxHealth who oversees the Wellness for
Warriors program. “We have seen
great success and feedback, and a growing need for the program, since its launch. We’re excited
about this expo and how it will connect people with resources in southwest
Missouri.”

The expo is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at The Meyer Center. No tickets are
necessary. For more information, call 417-269-3282.
